George Michael to perform at Palais Garnier Opera House

09/08/12

George Michael will perform at the Opera of the Palace Garnier in Paris, tomorrow. He will be playing a special charity Gala concert in the Opera to raise money for Sidaction, a French HIV and AIDS organisation that provides information, advocacy and research into HIV and communities affected by HIV. The unique concert will be followed by a Gala dinner and an auction.

The Palais Garnier, probably the most famous opera house in the world, was originally called the Salle des Capucines because of its location on the Boulevard des Capucines in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. But soon it became known as the Palais Garnier in recognition of its opulence and its architect, Charles Garnier.
